The goal of this paper is to analyze the various images of Samson as presented by some of the classical and modern Jewish Bible commentaries and interpretations: Moshe Hayyim Luzzatto's Maaseh Shimshon; Ze'ev Jabotinsky's Samson; Adin Steinsaltz's essay in Biblical Images, Men and Women of the Book, and Rabbi Gershon Weiss' Samson's Struggle. Through this analysis, I will explore the evolving images of Samson and how they reflected both the period in which the interpretative work was written, the author's interests and the beliefs of the intended audience.

The aim of this thesis is to focus on the position of judge as it is established in the law system of the Czech Republic. The author is pursuing the genesis of judge's function, rights and duties of a judge and considerable part of this work is dealing with the principle of judicial independence and impartiality which ensures right to a fair trial. This thesis also marginally summarizes the history of judiciary in Czech Republic.

Mutual comparison of the appointment of judges in Czech Republic and on the basis of the merit system The diploma thesis deals with a comparison of the appointment of judges in the Czech Republic and an appointment of judges based on merit system. The aim is to describe in detail both systems and determine whether the application of the principles of a model example of the appointment of judges based on merit systemis possible to apply in the Czech Republic. In the first chapter I set the basic assumptions of a judge that any judge should meet. Using these assumptions I also compare both systems the appointment of judges. The ideal system for appointing judges, in my opinion, should be set so that on its basis were appointed judges who are independent and impartial, accountable, trustworthy, intelligent and have the necessary experience and moral assumptions. The second chapter is devoted to the current system of appointment of judges in the Czech Republic, where I describe the current legislation and appointment of judges that deal with the process that precedes the appointment of judges by the President. At the end of the second chapter I summarize how the current system for selecting judges take into account the criteria mentioned in the first chapter. In the third chapter I present system of...

Modern society is based on respect for the individual and at the same time it has created the institute of justice under which parties, in the interest of maintaining social cohesion, should resolve their disputes using the system of applying rights. The task of the judiciary is therefore to be an impartial arbiter, which is an absolute criterion for the acceptance of authoritativeness of this body, or more precisely the functionality and signification of this institute within the social contract. Only an unbiased judge can be the only guarantee for the nemo iudex in causa sua principles to be observed. The European Convention imposes on the states - members of the Council of Europe such legal conditions which guarantee every country the right for their affairs to be discussed fairly, in public and in a reasonable time limit by an independent and impartial court established by law which will decide about their civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charges raised against them. The Constitutional Order of the Czech Republic guarantees everybody the right to a fair trial conducted in accordance with the law before an impartial judge. Constitutional guarantees of fair legal proceedings before an impartial judge are supplemented with legal rules of the sub constitutional law. Yet, it is the...

Cette étude est une recherche de droit comparé sur l'un des problèmes qui se posent à propos du rôle que le juge est amené à jouer pour résoudre certains problèmes liés à la force obligatoire du contrat.Le sujet nous amène tout d'abord à étudier le pouvoir d'appréciation du juge dans la détermination des obligations des parties au contrat en confrontant deux approches, a priori distinctes, celle du système juridique français prônant une interprétation subjective des volontés et celle du système juridique marocain ou l'interprétation objective est de mise.En tous les cas, les abus générés par les clauses pénales ont poussé le législateur à habiliter le juge à réformer les clauses pénales manifestement excessives ou dérisoires. Une autre réforme, dix ans après, est venue renforcer le pouvoir d'office de révision du juge. Cette loi française de 1985 n'a pas d'équivalent en droit marocain par conséquent le juge marocain contrairement au juge français ne peut intervenir d'office pour modérer les clauses pénales manifestement excessives ou dérisoires. Concernant la théorie de l'imprévision, le droit marocain comme le droit français, adopte sur la question de la révision pour cause d'imprévision une position très classique.Enfin, l'étude comparative met au jour le rôle principal joué par le juge en matière de résolution du contrat. Le législateur impose au créancier qui souhaite obtenir la résolution la saisine obligatoire du juge. Pour faciliter la tâche du créancier, d'autres formes de résolution ont vu le jour avec la légalisation par le système français et marocain de la clause résolutoire avec laquelle le rôle du juge se ramène à constater la résolution et non la déclarer comme c'est le cas pour la résolution judiciaire. Or l'influence croissante des éléments objectifs tels la mauvaise foi, nous invitent à reconsidérer ce rôle primordial du juge qui tend à faire obstacle au jeu de la clause résolutoire en favorisant l'efficacité contractuelle.Si le juge français peut ainsi modifier « la chronologie de l'exécution » en violation du contrat. La conception classique du droit marocain maintient la rigueur de sa position même en présence des situations les plus aberrantes. / This study is a research of comparative law about one of the problems that arise concerning the role of the judge in resolving some problems related to the binding force of contracts.This topic leads us first to examining the judge's discretionary power in the determination of the parties' obligations by virtue of the contract by comparing two approaches, seemingly distinct from each other. One pertains to the French legal system favouring a subjective interpretation of wills. The other pertains to the Moroccan legal system where the objective interpretation is required.Anyway, the violations generated by the penal clauses made the legislator authorize the judge to reform the penal clauses that are manifestly excessive or derisory. Another reform came ten years later to reinforce the evaluation power of the judge. This 1985 French law has no equivalent in the Moroccan law. Therefore, the Moroccan judge, unlike the French one, cannot intervene to moderate the penal clauses that are manifestly excessive or derisory.Concerning the theory of frustration of purpose, the Moroccan law, like the French one, adopts a very classical position about the issue of revision for frustration of purpose.Finally, the comparative study reveals the principal role of the judge concerning the issue of contract dissolution. The legislator requires the creditor who wishes to obtain the dissolution to refer to the judge imperatively. In order to facilitate the task of the creditor, other forms of dissolution have been created by the French and Moroccan systems, mainly the dissolution clause by which the role of the judge is reduced to noticing the dissolution rather than declaring it, as is the case for judicial dissolution. Still, the growing influence of objective factors such as lack of good faith, make us reconsider the primary role of the judge which tends to impede the dissolution clause by favoring contractual efficiency.If the French judge may modify the execution chronology in contract violation, the classical conception of the Moroccan law maintains its strict position despite the most absurd situations.

The purpose of this Master degree thesis is to introduce reader the professional ethics issues of judges in the Czech Republic. The thesis is composed of four chapters. The inner system of thesis was designed in a way that guarantees that level of abstraction falls as the thesis progress continues. In chapter one, there are explained the most abstract terms connected with professional ethics in general as a morality, ethics and law. There is also recognizable attempt to find relationship between mentioned terms. Second chapter, as a whole, is devoted to idea of profession and professional ethics. Text is focused on possible modification of relationship between ethics and professional ethics and it also refers about differences between profession and occupation. Last but not least there are as examples of professional ethics mentioned two "non-judges" professional ethics. In chapter three is described a fact the most regulation of judges conduct in Czech Republic is set down in positive law mainly. In addition of that, in chapter three there is mentioned attempt of judges self regulation in issues of professional ethics, which was realized by independent Czech judge's organization Judges Union of Czech Republic. Scope of the last chapter is used for utilization of knowledge contained in antecedent chapters....

Le procès civil est un des moyens essentiels pour le bon déroulement de la justice. Il amène une difficulté de fait et de droit à l’examen d’un juge par un ensemble des formalités qui doivent être suivies pour soumettre une prétention à un juge civil, ce qu’on appelle : une instance civile. L’objectif premier de l’instance civile est de permettre l’exercice d’une justice efficace, respectueuse du droit de chaque partie afin de créer un climat de sécurité juridique. A première vue, la répartition du rôle du juge et des parties dans le fond de l’instance civil semble simple, puisque les parties sont en chargent des faits et le juge doit rendre le droit. En réalité, l’articulation des fonctions du juge et des parties est plus complexe. Concrètement, les faits et le droit n’étant que les deux versants d’une même réalité, il est délicat de définir précisément l’étendue de la place que doivent occuper respectivement le juge et les parties. Faut-il aller dans le sens d’une extension ou d’une limitation du pouvoir du juge ? Le procès civil doit-il rester la chose des parties ? Et de même la forme de l’instance nécessite la comparaison entre les deux systèmes en essayant de connaître si ils sont arrivés à aboutir à l’objective du procès civil. Bien que les systèmes juridiques français et koweitien soit de prime abord quelque différent, l’intérêt d’une telle étude comparée réside dans le fait de faire ressortir les dysfonctionnements en matière du procès civile en premier instance, et cela notamment dans le droit koweitien. L’étude de l’instance civile française va servir de référence pour apporter des améliorations dans l’instance civile du Koweït. La procédure civile française est historiquement bien plus ancienne que celle du Koweït. C’est la loi du 14 avril 1806 qui institue le premier code de procédure civile en France alors que le Koweït n’en sera doté que bien plus tard. Il ressort que la dynamique donnée au procès civil en France et au Koweït n’est pas la même, et cela en raison de la formulation des dispositions relatives à la répartition du rôle du juge et des parties. Dans l’instance civile française, ces dispositions sont plus explicites et plus précises alors que dans l’instance civile koweitienne, elles apparaissent de manière plus implicite et plus éparse. Ainsi,« le flou » qui règne dans le procès civil koweitienne, laisse plus de place à l’intervention de la jurisprudence qui plus est n’est pas toujours cohérente. Il est alors nécessaire de combler les lacunes du système koweitien, pour garantir une meilleure sécurité juridique. Le modèle français pourrait alors constituer une source d’inspiration pour apporter des améliorations au procès civil koweitienne. Ces améliorations pourraient notamment consister à réorganiser le code de procédure civile afin de rendre plus visible les dispositions concernant la répartition du rôle du juge et des parties dans les procès de première instance. Il s’agit aussi d’apporter des précisions législatives pour expliciter et faciliter le déroulement du procès civil, en déterminant les rôles respectifs du juge et des parties dans le procès civil d’instance et d’en comprendre les implications et cela sous l’angle d’une étude comparative entre le droit français et le droit koweitien. / The civil trial is an essential means for the proper conduct of justice. Hebrings a difficulty of fact and law under consideration by a judge by a set of steps that must be followed to submit a claim to a civil court, which is called: a civil proceeding. The primary objective of the civil proceeding is to permit the exercise of effective justice, respects the right of each party to create a climate of legal certainty. At first glance, the distribution of the role of the judge and the parties in the merits of the civil judge appears simple, because the parties are in charge of the facts and the judge must make the law. In fact, the articulation of the judge and the parties is more complex. Specifically, the facts and the law is that the two sides of the same coin, it is difficult to precisely define the extent of the space to be occupied respectively the judge and the parties. Should we go in the direction of extension or limitation of the judicial power ? The civil trial should he remain the party thing ? And even the shape of the proceeding requires the comparison between the two systems trying to know if they got to reach the objective of the civil trial. Although the French and Kuwaiti legal system is at first a different, the value of such a comparative study is that to highlight the dysfunction in the civil trial in the first instance, and that especially in the Kuwaiti law. The study of French civil case will serve as a reference for making improvements in the civil case of Kuwait. The French civil procedure is historically much older than that of Kuwait. This is the law of 14 April 1806 which established the first code of civil procedure in France while Kuwait will have not much later. It appears that the momentum given to the civil trial in France and Kuwait is not the same, and that because of the wording in relation to the distribution of the role of the judge and the parties. In the French civil, these provisions are more explicit and precise while in the Kuwaiti civil, they appear more and more sparse implied. Thus, "blur" that prevails in the Kuwaiti civil trial, leaves more room for the intervention of the law that is more is not always consistent. It is then necessary to fill gaps in the Kuwaiti system to ensure greater legal certainty. The French model could be a source of inspiration to make improvements to the Kuwaiti civil trial. These improvements might include reorganizing the Code of Civil Procedure in order to make more visible the provisions concerning the distribution of the role of the judge and the parties in the original trial. It is also for legislative clarification to clarify and facilitate the conduct of the civil trial, determining the roles of the judge and the parties in the civil trial of first instance and to understand its implications and that under the angle of a comparative study between the french law and the Kuwaiti law.
